Ten Secret Sword Techniques

The ten secret sword techniques are ten different sword techniques Naruto created through the use of his sword spirit Est and using her in conjunction with his other spirits. A series of sword skills Naruto created to counter the Absolute Blade Arts that Kamito learned from Greyworth.

1. Finishing First – This technique revolves around Naruto using Est in conjunction with Barguest and Wolf Fang. With the speed boost from Wolf Fang, Naruto shoots off, boosting his speed even further by sending a burst of Divine Energy from his feet, propelling him forward. Then, with his strength enhanced by Barguest, Naruto lunges forward at god speeds and stabs or slashes with Est. The speed of his attack enhances the strength of his blow with its momentum, already enhanced by Barguest.

2. Crippling Blade – This technique revolves around Naruto using Rafflesia alongside Est. Coating Est's blade in a finely honed mist of Raffelsia's poison, Naruto attacks with slashes and stabs that sends bursts of poison wind blades. And any attack that lands is steeped with poison that seeps into wounds.

3. Whirlwind Slash – This technique revolves around Naruto using Est in conjunction with Aerial. Spinning in a 360 circle, Naruto unleashes a tornado around his form made up of wind blades, to defend against others, blow away surrounding enemies all at once.

4. Erupting Blade – This technique revolves around Naruto using Est alongside Argos. Stabbing Est into the ground, Naruto uses her as a focal point to send out his power through the earth and use Argos' power to make the earth shatter and erupt all around him, throwing opponents off balance, and if they're unlucky stabbed by the earthen spears created from the eruption.

5. Silent Killing – This technique revolves around Naruto using Est in conjunction with Thanatos. Creating a mist of darkness, Naruto uses his training as an assassin, and the ability to see perfectly through the mist to attack opponents from their blind spots.

6. Blinding Blade– This technique revolves around Naruto using Est in conjunction with Shining Ray. Naruto commits to to an attack with Est, but before he follows through, he uses Shining Ray to conjure a blindingly bright light and blind his opponent, then change his attack pattern.

7. Blade Switch – This is a technique where Naruto uses Est's status as a contracted spirit. After committing an attack, Naruto dismisses and recalls Est in a different wielding position – for instance, after committing a slashing attack up high, Naruto dismisses Est and recalls her gripped in a backwards grip, facing downwards to attack instantly from another and completely different angle.

8. Sniper Blade – This is a technique where Naruto uses Est in conjunction with any spirit. For instance, stabbing the blade forward and firing the Black Lightning technique Naruto created through combining Thanatos and Shining Ray's abilities.

9. Shadow Sword– This is another technique where Naruto uses Est in conjunction with Thanatos. Imitating Est's form, when Naruto attacks, Thanatos' mimicked form, attacks from a different direction – meaning, the opponent has to defend from multiple points at once.

10. Howling Fang – The strongest technique in the Ten Secret Swords. Covering Est's form in his Divine Energy, Naruto unleashes a wave of black and orange energy in an enhanced slash – he can unleash it in a wave for a long range attack, or keep the energy attached to Est to enhance her cutting power and the strength behind his swings.
